Chris Christie went on Fox News on Sunday and told anchor Chris Wallace that The New York Times’ bombshell about Donald Trump’s 1995 tax return was a “good story” for Donald Trump.<\/p>\n
According to the Times,<\/a> Donald Trump declared $916 million in losses in 1995 which meant that under current tax law he could have avoided paying federal income taxes for 18 years.<\/p>\n Attempting to spin the story, Christie, the beleaguered governor of New Jersey and head of Donald Trump’s presidential transition team (should he be elected), told Wallace, “This is actually a very good story for Donald Trump.”<\/p>\n Wallace was incredulous. “Wait,” he said, “You’re saying it’s a good story for Donald Trump that he failed to pay any federal income taxes–first of all, that he took a billion dollar loss–and that he failed to pay any federal income taxes for years, that’s a good story?”<\/p>\n Christie came back with, “You don’t know that he didn’t pay any federal income taxes.”<\/p>\n Wallace drew attention to Trump’s response to the Times’ story, which he called, a “non-denial denial,” adding, “I assume that if [Trump] had paid lots of taxes over those years he would have told us so.”<\/p>\n Christie responded, “That’s a big assumption on your part.”<\/p>\n Wallace pressed Christie again, asking, “Just to sum this up: as a top Trump advisor, as the head of his presidential transition team, your reaction to the story in the Times today is no apologies?”<\/p>\n Said Christie, “Oh for gosh sakes, no apologies for complying with the law.”<\/p>\n Watch, below<\/p>\n<\/p>\n The post Chris Christie Tells a Flummoxed Chris Wallace That NYT’s Bombshell on Trump’s Taxes is a ‘Good Story’ – WATCH<\/a> appeared first on Towleroad<\/a>.<\/p>\n
